Chapter 108
Harper held her burning cheek with mortified tears circling in her eyes.
“W-Why did you hit me!”
She cried, humiliated.
“We are sisters! Long lost sisters! You should be hugging me and helping me instead!”
Morgana snorted, “Are you deaf? I just said it. Your parents abandoned me. They left me in the hospital, like tossing away a piece of garbage, simply because they didn’t like the way I looked when I was born. I hate you. Each one of you.”
“Mom did give birth to you-” Harper stuttered.
“But did she care for me? Feed me? Protect me for even a single day in my life? Hell fucking no.”
She gave a disgusted look at Harper and snarled:
“Now fuck off. You should be thankful that I am not tearing your face off right now.”
Harper bit her lower lip in shame.
She thought Morgana was here to help her. But no! Her so-called sister was on Janet’s side.
She wouldn’t allow this.
She was the queen. She should establish her sense of power!
“You can’t talk to me like that! I am the King’s mate. His queen!” Harper snapped sternly, “I demand you to apologize to me right now!”
Morgana snorted and looked around the room.
“I have been here for over a decade. How come I don’t know that Lance has a queen?” she asked the maids, “Do you guys know about that?”
The maids all shook their heads.
Harper was infuriated, “He just hasn’t got a chance to properly announce me as his queen!”
“Well, until then, you are nothing but a piece of this to me. Even after he makes you his queen, I can still tell you to fuck off whenever I want.”
Morgana waved her hand dismissively, “Escort her out.
་་
Two maids strode forward and grabbed Harper’s shoulder.
They shoved Harper out of the room forcefully.
Janet could still hear Harper’s furious cries and curses coming from the hallway even after she was kicked out.
“Well, well, well… Isn’t this the legendary Gamma Janet?”
Morgana crossed her arms and surveyed Janet up and down.
“They said that you are a legendary warrior. It is a shame that I haven’t got a chance to fight you personally. Or you would have died in my hands a long time ago.”
“They said that you are a legendary warrior. It is a shame that I haven’t got a chance to fight you personally. Or you would have died in my hands a long time ago.”
“Likewise.”
Janet replied calmly, “Your wolf head would make a nice decoration for my house.” Morgana raised an eyebrow. She looked intrigued.
“You are an interesting person, Janet. Too bad that we are enemies,” she giggled. “I heard that you were raised in the Diaz’s house. So how was it like that?”
“It was a hell hole,” Janet said. “You already saw what the Diaz’s family members were like.”
Morgana burst into laughter, “Well then, I should be glad that they abandoned me. Growing up in the rogue’s territory alone is way better than being raised by a bunch of pricks.”
She snapped her fingers and beckoned a maid over.
“Get a towel for Gamma Janet. And don’t let that bitch Harper into this room ever again. Understand?” she said.
“Yes, Lady Morgana.”
Janet sat back down behind the dresser again. A maid came to dry her face and started doing her hair.
Janet took this chance and asked Morgana, “Do you know about the banquet tonight?”
“Oh yeah.”
Morgana lit a cigarette and leaned her body against the wall, smiling.
“All the important people in this city will be there…to welcome you and Alpha Daran. It is the King’s order.”
“Why?” Janet asked coldly.
She still couldn’t understand why Lance brought them back here.
Did he honestly think that they could be bought with some clothes and jewelry?
It would be ridiculous.
“Well, I can’t tell you, can I? Because we are enemies.”
Morgana giggled.
“And you won’t get an answer from me. Our King…is a very stubborn and bossy man. He rarely shares his thoughts with us. You and Alpha Daran’s arrival has caused a city-wide panic. But apparently, our King doesn’t care about what the rest of us think.”
So even Lance’s Cabinet Minister didn’t know about the reason.
Looked like it was left for them to find out themselves.
Morgana finished the last drag and stubbed the cigarette in an ashtray, “OK. I will see you at the banquet tonight, alright? I can’t wait to meet the famous Alpha Daran.’

“See you.”
Janet watched Morgana leave the room.
They were enemies, indeed.
But she had a gut feeling that Morgana was not a bad person.
The maids finished her makeover in about an hour. She had washed away all the dust and blood. Now she was dressed in a black long gown with her hair stylishly braided behind her back.
“Wow, Miss Janet…”
The maid looked at Janet in awe. Despite her fear of Janet, she still couldn’t help but gasp, “… You look amazing.”
Janet smiled faintly, “Thank you. Now where is this banquet?”
The maid led her out of the room. There was already a group of guards waiting outside of the door.
“These men will show you the way to the banquet hall,” the maid said.
Janet was astonished to see a familiar face among the guards.
Kass!
Janet tried hard not to let her excitement show and gave a simple nod at the guards, gesturing them to lead the way.
On their way to the banquet hall, Janet delicately slowed down her pace and walked side by side with Kass.
“How have you been? Everything alright?” she asked in a voice that was only audible to the two of them.
“Yeah, I am fine.”
Kass whispered and kept his eyes straight ahead, “Look, about what happened earlier-”
“Daran told me. It was all part of the plan.”
Kass let out a small sigh of relief, “Great. I was afraid that you might get the wrong idea. Lance totally trusts me now. He puts me on the patrol team, which means that I get to move around more freely and have access to more information.”
“So what have you learned?”
Kass looked the other guards over cautiously before whispering back, “Now is not a good time to talk. I will have a night off 3 days later. I will go and find you in your
room.
Janet nodded slightly. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Moments later, they arrived at the banquet hall. A guard stepped forward and pushed the door open. /
“The King is expecting you,” the guard lowered his head and stepped aside.
Janet stepped into the hall calmly.
This banquet hall exuded luxury, a grand symphony of crystal chandeliers casting a
soft light upon glided walls adorned with tapestries.
The long table draped in silk liens was in the middle of the room. Each seat had a set of polished silver and delicate china.
There were already many people sitting around that long table.
All chatter stopped at the moment Janet walked in. They all turned around and stared at her.
At the far end of the table sat Lance.
He had changed out of his blacksmith outfit and was now dressed in a daunting black coat, looking very much like a King.
“Miss Janet, welcome!”
He stood up with a big smile.
“Come and join us. Meet my men.”
